If not, I take precautions. I never felt it to be a touchy thing to ask, and never did any girl seemed to feel offende. In fact, most of them were more concerned than I in ensuring that birth control is used. If we expected to see each other for a longer time then we decided together which form will be most convenient to both of us.~v I yet do not know of any non offending way to find out if the woman has VD, in order to take proper precautions. Any suggestions by men and women?
